Julie's Guesthouse Chiang Mai Reviews

Pretty good place for value. Nothing overly nice, just enough. My friend & I stayed in a two bed room at first then moved to a single room each after a few nights. The Guesthouse even arranged for a overnight trek into the jungle to stay with the Karen Hill tribes. We stayed 7 nights & even with the jungle trek & numerous beers charged to my room that week, my final bill was just around a hundred dollars for the week. Place is walking to the major markets & nightlife. Common area had lots of other backpackers relaxing, seemed like a good place to make friends if traveling alone.

Julie's guesthouse is THE place to stay if you're on a budget and want to meet fellow travelers. Dorms are either 70 Baht or 80 Baht a night (cheap for inside the old city) however, the prices rise quite a bit if you want a room with private bathroom. The guesthouse itself is chill with a pool table, good music and fantastic food (affordable prices). Try the garlic bread with cheese for 90 Baht or the bruschetta! Julie's can also provide all sorts of tickets, trips, visas, transportation - anything you want really! Basically, it seems as though they make their money by selling food (as most people just chill there) and getting some profit from selling guests tickets etc... Although downstairs is where most people relax and share stories, there is an area on the rooftop with more sofas and a hammock. Fantastic area to sip your drink and simply relax.

Make sure you reserve your bed/room early as it is almost always full. If you stay there you will keep seeing people coming in who haven't reserved and walk out disappointed not to stay in this place which charms you as soon as you walk in!

Ok so the location is not so great bc its a bit of a walking distance to where the action is but i simply love this place. I love the staff which was helpful..they probably loved me a bit more bc i book tours with them but their recommendations were all very good so i didnt mind(not to mention cheaper than booking directly with the companies). Julie's has a nice garden area and pretty nice rooms. I stood in the most expensive one bc it was packed already but they do have dorms available. Nothing extraordinary about the rooms although they do have a lot of character. What sells this place is the staff and the backpacker vibe. I met so many cool people which as a single traveler is very important to me. The lounge area with free-wifi is a definite plus and if i return to chiang mai will definitely stay at Julie's.

As guesthouses go, I'l probably average. Rooms have fans but no aircon. Food is average. Beds are very hard like in the rest of Thailand. There were people partying until 3 am one night so sleeping can be challenging. However, this is a great place to meet fellow travelers/backpackers as this is a hangout for people who stay here and people who stay elsewhere.
